What if you treated yourself with deep reverence?
Hi! I'm Molly. When I have worked with different healers, therapists, etc., I have found I connected most with people who have shared their stories, so here is a little bit of mine...
I will never claim to have all the answers, but what I do know for sure is that I know what deep, internal pain and suffering feels like. I know what it is like to not want to be here anymore, and using every ounce of courage and inner strength to make it through the next breath. I also know the profundity and beauty of joy, celebration, ecstatic love for myself and humanity! And because of my past experiences, I have cultivated the ability to tap into a deep reservoir of internal peace amidst the inevitable challenges of this paradox called Life. And that ability (to hold the paradox of you, of this human experience, with more compassion, reverence, and magic) is what I hope to remind you of during our time working together. I want to remind you that no matter what you go through, you always have choice, and an ability to create something even more beautiful than you originally imagined!
When I was 18, I experienced severe OCD for the first time. When I was that age I was deeply fused with my thoughts, believing I was every thought that passed through my mind. And let me tell you...when your thoughts are a barrage of what would be the darkest, most intrusive, horrifying expressions of humanity, you start to believe you are a monster in human form. And oh the shame, the unrelenting shame, that came with feeling that I was actually these thoughts! Thankfully, by the grace that is beyond my human expression, I knew deep down that this couldn’t fully be me. I left college to return home to heal and begun what has now become a decades long and counting journey of healing trauma, exploring the intricacies of the mind with Buddhism and meditation, deepening my relationship with a mystical intelligence, making peace with my sexuality, and learning how to regulate my nervous system.
This reckoning with my mental health led me to go inwards in such a way that I didn’t know was possible. It led me to travel to places around the world that held the sacredness of life at the heart of society; traveling throughout Asia and South and Central America. At the same time, I began to confront the inescapable fears in my mind by solo-traveling. I would continually tap into my intuition and began trusting in an energy beyond my mind and human self. This healing journey led me into the heart of Tantra, neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and exploring inner liberation with the powerful teachings of mystics old and new. At times my biggest anchor to stay here and heal was the loving support of my family, wanting to be around for my nieces, and the anchor of my Dad losing his father to suicide, and eventually one of my best friend’s losing his battle to mental illness the same way. Nowadays, I am in a space of real compassion and curiosity with myself, and I have more days of balance, peace and reverence for the woman that I am. I honor my power, sexuality, and have a voracious love of truth and self-inquiry. I see that our world is thirsty for realness and genuine healing and I am honored to be a conduit of remembrance and guide for that healing power that is within us all.
No matter how dark and despairing it seems right now, I promise with my whole heart that there is light at the end of the tunnel. There are experiences that will jaw-drop you into pure awe, love and connection to be shared in community that makes your heart and soul be seen to bits, love to be made that nourishes your entire being to the cellular level, and beauty that abounds when you unlearn all of the debris of conditioning that isn’t in alignment with your truest essence. You are experiencing a temporary state, and I believe in your healing. I believe in you, and your ability to make your darkest experiences the most potent alchemy of pure love and wisdom. And it would be an honor to hold you in the vision that you are more than what you have been through; to remind you that there are pockets of beauty, compassion, and magic that you have yet to explore inside of you; and that post-traumatic growth is not only a possibility, but your birthright. Thank you for being here with me!

With warmth and love,
Molly

My Values & Intentions:
-
Creating a space where you are seen with a level of integrity, compassion, and a felt sense of safety and trust.
-
My working definition of Woman includes our wonderful trans sisters. I do not subscribe to the idea of the feminine energetic being only soft and submissive. The feminine to me is like fire and silk; fierce as all get out and smooth like butter. We are multi-dimensional, baby!
-
Embodying values that uplift collective humanity- including anti-racism work and active allyship in the LGBTQIA+ community. There are very real impacts of systemic injustices in our society and I don't subscribe to transcending the human experience. My goal is to create enough resourcefulness and embodiment within myself and with my clients so we can show up to "the work" collectively in a more sturdy way. The work of engaging with social justice and activism from a joyful revolution, a rested and solid space, so that our bodies and beings can operate at their highest capacities and we can then create more sustainable change in our world.
-
Collaboration and co-creation of what you need during our time together-your voice and input matters deeply!
-
Willingness to learn and grow and honor my own imperfections and blind spots.
-
Bringing lightness and play to the depths. Humor and gentleness go a long, long way!
-
Knowing my scope of expertise and when I actually am not the right practitioner for you. I will always keep an open dialogue if working with medical or mental health professionals would actually be in your best interest. I am happy to work in conjunction with those professionals, too!
